Abstract	The goosefish (Lophius americanus; Valenciennes 1837), the common name recognized by the American Fisheries Society (Robins et al. 1991), or monkfish, the name used in commerce, is a large, slow-growing, bottom-dwelling anglerfish (Lophiformes). 'Angler' is an older common name for this fish. The goosefish occurs from the southern and eastern parts of the Grand Banks, (Newfoundland) and the northern side of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, to the east coast of Florida (to about 29 deg N), but is common only north of Cape Hatteras (North Carolina). This Essential Fish Habitat source document provides information on the life history and habitat requirements of goosefish inhabiting U.S. waters.
